As Tuesday’s article reports, sanitation-related illnesses and even deaths have been well-documented at protests around the country.

The Occupy DC group also takes issue with recent tweets from local reporter Tim Craig, who described an incident in which some protesters wrote on a statue in McPherson Park. In one tweet, Craig wrote: “They claim only chalk, but they defaced it, and doesn't seem to be coming off well. Disgusting.”

On Wednesday, Craig told The City Paper that he would discuss with his editor whether the tweets were out of line.

We checked with Post Local editor Vernon Loeb, who told us: “We talked to Tim about being more careful in the future about making value judgments in his tweets and asked him to be descriptive, but not opinionated.”

Craig, who has covered various aspects of the Occupy movement, has not been taken off of the story, Loeb said, adding, “He’s a good reporter and we didn’t feel he crossed an irrevocable line with the words that he chose.”

In fact, The Post has featured an array of articles, galleries and videos about the Occupy Wall Street movement, including reporting by Elizabeth Flock, who has been traveling with protesters, walking from Elizabeth, N.J to Washington, D.C. as part of Occupy the Highway. We’ve linked to more coverage below.
